Cant see MAXN mode after installing Jetpack 6.1 rev on Orin Nano

[daniel.gayer]

I’ve installed Jetpack 6.1 rev1 on a Jetson Orin Nano through SDK Manager. I’ve seen the caveat of using this command

sudo rm -rf /etc/nvpmodel.conf

and them rebooting the machine to make sure Super Performance is enabled. The firmware version is 36.4.3

After doing all these steps, I still can’t see the MAXN power mode.

When I try to use this command

sudo nvpmodel -m 2

I get NVPM ERROR: request for bad power mode 2 NVPM ERROR: optMask is 1, no request for power mode

Can someone give me ideas on why this is happening?

Hello @daniel.gayer

You could follow our Exploring NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Mode performance using Generative AI where we explains the steps to enable the Orin Super Nano mode. The instructions were made for JetPack 6.1 rev and tested with a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Developer Kit.

Please, give it a try and let us know.

I hope this helps!

it worked on a Dev Kit Jetson provided by NVIDIA not on the one provided by Advantech. That seems to be their issue. Thanks!
